RUMOURS: Juventus eye Pepe as Thiago Silva alternative
Real Madrid centre-back Pepe has emerged as a candidate to move to Juventus next summer, Tuttosport reports. Thiago Silva remains first choice on the Turin side’s shopping list, yet the PSG defender’s deal is unlikely to expire until 2018, with only failure to qualify for the Champions League freeing him of his obligation to the Parc des Princes side next summer.
Obafemi Martins buys 2017 Bentley Bentayga worth $281,170
Shanghai Shenhua forward Obafemi Martins apparently needs to maintain his yard of pace as he approaches the peak of his career with a sassy 301 kilometre per hour new ride, the 2017 Bentley Bentayga which is worth $281,170. Martins has netted nine times in 17 appearances for the Shanghai club since joining them from MLS side Seattle Sounders in February, making him the second top scorer for the Hongkou stadium outfit after Sengalese Demba Ba this year. The 31-year-old's latest ride complements his speed on the ball with acceleration from 0-60m in 4secs.
Fanendo Adi and Gbenga Arokoyo fail to lead Portland Timbers to MLS playoff
Fanendo Adi and Gbenga Arokoyo were on parade for Portland Timbers in their disappointing 4-1 loss to Vancouver Whitecaps at the BC place, as their dream of retaining the MLS Cup faded away. Caleb Porter's side who were 2015 MLS Cup champions needed a win to contend for this year's title after an horrific season of 14 losses, but a disappointing team performance and a poor defensive display in their final league game ended their chances of making to the top six of the Western Conference. Nigeria's Fanendo Adi who was in action for the entire duration couldn't increase his goal tally to 17 league goals as Diego Valeri’s penalty gave Timbers their only goal in the 72nd minute after Giles Barnes’ brace plus goals from Nicolas Mezquida and Pedro Morales fired the Caps to victory.
